I bought a 16 gallon tank for installing on my avenger. It was a vw tank only extra large. It didn't fit of course, so I wasn't sure what to do then. I decided...
Mike, you might consider using an acid core solder or acid flux with solid core solder - if you can clean your welds enough, the "sweat" solder process - like...
More tank problems. I was remounting my tank after moving my battery to the front and found several pin holes in my tank. I was able to poke a screwdriver...

Yep. I have a copy of your frame drawings ... Any items discussed herein, that might pertain to the Clerical Technical Union of MSU, are strictly the...
Ths chassis looks interesting but doesn't look like it would be adaptable to a Valk or Avenger without lots and lots of modification and then you would end up...
